I am not traditionally employed so I am at home during the day, which means I see a lot of television. Most of the time the TV is just on and sometimes I am goofing off channel surf. But I digress.

The one thing that is consistent is the airwaves are full of commercials on how women can improve themselves. How to fill those laugh lines, those crow’s feet, that droopy neck, etc. It is horrible how badly women are made to feel about themselves. Not one mention that men could use these products too.

Love yourself Women – Don’t believe the hype that something is wrong with you. Imagine if women woke up tomorrow feeling good about themselves so many companies would go out of business.
